MX480 SCBE Description
The MX SCBE serves the carrier Ethernet services router and carrier Ethernet transport
markets that require higher-capacity traffic support demanding greater interface density
(slot and capacity scale), as well as improved services. The upgraded SCB is supported
on MX960, MX480, and MX240 routers. Some key attributes of the MX SCBEs are:
•
160 Gbps/slot bandwidth with redundant fabric support, and improved fabric
performance by using the next-generation fabric (XF) chip
•
A central clocking module and a centralized clocking architecture that supports clock
cleanup and distribution. The Stratum 3 clock module performs clock monitoring,
filtering, and holdover in a centralized chassis location
•
Full performance with fabric redundancy for higher capacity line cards such as16x10GE
and MPC3
The Routing Engine installs directly into a slot on the MX SCBE (see Figure 38 on page 110).
